Kim Van Breda Poet Prose Poetry

Cookie-Cutter Version

COOKIE—CUTTER VERSION

true confession time stands and gears
itself to concede in honest declaration
the guilt of heeding to the scrutiny of
veiled opinion from self-seeking minds

the process is set in motion as worldly 
influences pull you to match the mould
and modify yourself  pleasing their moral
principles tweaking your uniqueness dry

one of a kind we are inimitable and rare
our essence blends our behaviour and
appearances selected in singular specs
rarely  the ‘cookie-cutter’ version we
                     perceive
